Best Practices

The Transformation

From outdated Squarespace to lightning-fast Astro

Before

Slow Squarespace site with poor performance

Mixed French/English content on same pages

No SEO optimization or Google visibility

Limited customization and modern features

After

Lightning-fast Astro site with 100/100 PageSpeed

Complete bilingual architecture (34 pages)

Comprehensive SEO with schema markup

Premium video hosting via Cloudflare R2

The Solution

When Pierre Gerondal contacted us with the ski season approaching, we had just 2 weeks to deliver a complete digital transformation. Through Astro framework, we built a lightning-fast platform that matches the craftsmanship of GERONDAL’s handmade skis:

Complete Bilingual Architecture - 17 pages in French, 17 in English with AI-assisted translations refined for luxury brand tone and proper skiing terminology.

Premium Video Experience - 12-minute craftsman video hosted on Cloudflare R2 for maximum performance, no third-party branding, and seamless integration.

Product Showcase System - 9 ski models, 3 snowboards, and luxury wooden sleds with technical specifications, beautiful photography, and clear CTAs.

Every page was optimized for SEO from day one, targeting keywords like “ski en bois” and “luge en bois” that Pierre’s exceptional products deserve to rank for.

The Results

100/100 PageSpeed Scores - Perfect performance across all metrics, critical for luxury positioning and mobile users at ski resorts.

34 bilingual pages - Complete French and English coverage with proper hreflang tags, reaching both Belgian/French markets and international customers.

Launch on schedule - Delivered November 28, 2024, perfectly timed for ski season and Higher Agency’s marketing campaign launch.
